Here an overall view of the map. The actual map is 34 inches x 44 inches.

This 49 or 50 page presentation shows some interesting maps about the world. Much of it is US centric, but interesting comparisons and relationships are shown. Especially number 46.

And the extent of the Mongolian Empire is stunning. Alexander the Great was a nobody in comparison.

Sometimes, things just go well. I thought the colors were too vibrant for Germany, so I made them 50% transparent. I still may need to town them down.

Also added the Forest. Decided to go with a Green Outline and then put the symbols inside.

I think I started using it in 2010-2011 to make maps for my wargames and occasional maps for other people. I've had about a 18-24 month break but am now using it again. Time to relearn a bunch of stuff...

A little late. Your "swamp trees" reminded me of Spanish Moss which grows in the South-Eastern US and in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Once used as cushions in Model T's until Ford learned they had mites in them that made everyone itch, then they had to boil it. It's really not a moss. Apparently, its related to pineapple. Go figure.

Here is a region of Germany where I served. The first one shows the area without contour lines. The little symbols are for coniferous and deciduous trees.

And here I turned on brown contour lines.

Your creativity astounds me. I look forward to following your development. Not 'dirty' sewers, but the sewers in Lex Luthor's domain of the first Christopher Reeves Superman Movie are an interesting take off of a pleasent life underneath the streets of NYC.

Hey @WeathermanSweden Here it is with the green to brown transition in 48 colors. This looks like dynamite!

Quadrilateral! 😎

Well. I decided to fill in the contour lines using the special palette Monsen made me with 48 shades of green and changed the contour interval from 50 meters to 20 meters. The 50 meter contours are still in there. Because I have trouble following contour lines, I decided to work backwards from highest to lowest. I thought I was saving regularly and saved the thing this morning a little while ago because its the 29th, not the 28th, but I obviously failed to "early and often" because the thing crashed and so I lost about an hour of work.

At any rate, here is an overall view of how things are. It will look much better.

The black lines are the 400 meter contour interval. When those are all changed, they contours will start to meander more and spread across the map. When I am done with this I will have to decisions to make. Switch to the 48 brown palette Monsen made for me and/or skip a color between contour lines (instead of 196-197-198 go to 196 - 198 - 200) to make the elevation change easier to see for my poor eyes.

Sue will be annoyed because darker is higher. :)

, but I will be able to focus better on where they go.
